Hi,

Have not tried. Some may want better grip on acceleration but vibration help is not an issue for us  Grin

No, not those exactly. Prefer these, ShinGrips Foam Grip Covers. No seams, use air hose & they slip right on in seconds (no soap or glue required), come in different lengths, & cheap, you get a discount for ordering more than one set at a time.
I installed 'em over my Hot Grips & think they make the heat even better! No more hot spots, nice even heat. Got 3 sets of spares, replace every year or so.

I don't have those, but do have these... One piece slip over foam grips.   http://www.ebay.com/itm/300534712646?_trksid=.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I have heated grips that are rubber and these foam rubber slip on covers are great, very comfortable and still let heat thru no problem.  While there might not be a vibration issue with these bikes, in my opinion it is much more comfortable to grip these with them being slightly fatter.  FYI, I used to have ISO grips, still have a new set on the shelf, but I don't think I will be using them again.  I like these.  


Yea  what he said.... LOL
